Hi,
The existing ebuild is ancient! from 2015.
I bumped it to 2.14.1, can you please verify it works? We can stabilize this one.
Thanks!

It seems to work ok for me

Thanks!

Will you use mask the fuzzyhash or you want ssdeep additional keywords?

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2018-10-13 14:22:46 UTC]

Maybe you can CC ppc and sparc to let them know... but seeing that latest mod_security lost the keywords and the only reverse dep that would need that on those arches is www-apache/modsecurity-crs that is also orphan and has lost keywords too in newer versions... I would simply drop them as I am unsure anyone is still using them for those arches :/ 

Or, maybe, they could be moved to testing

If mod_security is unmaintained why not move it to unstable?

well, in general we try to keep the packages in maintainer-needed with the same stabilization level, otherwise we would need to move to testing really a lot of packages and their reverse deps. Also, for amd64/x86 I don't think it's a big deal to keep them in stable. Even in some cases, "unmaintained" packages in maintainer-needed alias are getting more attention that other packages under other teams :/
